Overview
Surge protection label printing at FatPrint, in short: you fit a surge protection device, explain the little window on the front, and the customer nods. A year later they have forgotten it exists. This label is the reminder that stays on the board.
Why the customer needs telling
Many devices show their condition through a status indicator on the front. If nobody checks it, nobody knows when it has done its job and needs replacing. A label beside the device tells the homeowner or site manager what it is and to check it regularly, and your name and phone number tell them who to ring when the indicator changes.
Surge protection label printing: wording
The heading reads "Surge Protection Fitted", followed by "Check the status indicator regularly". Write-on lines cover "Installed" and "Installer". A strip holds your company name, phone number and scheme or registration number, printed as plain text, never a scheme logo. The wording can be set to match the manufacturer instructions for the device you fitted, and you can add your logo or pre-print fixed details.
Material, size and packs
- Matt paper takes a ballpoint or permanent pen, handy for the install date.
- Gloss paper for brighter colour on indoor boards.
- Waterproof white polypropylene with a matt laminate for garages, outbuildings and boards handled a lot. Write with a permanent marker.
Choose 76 × 51 mm or the longer 96 × 45 mm, which can sit neatly in a row beside the device. Paper packs run from 48 to 5,040 labels; polypropylene starts at 500. Supplied on sheets, kiss cut and ready to peel, with a permanent adhesive. Need a size we do not list? Ask for a quote.

Questions
Quick answers about surge protection label printing.
What goes on each surge protection label?
A "Surge Protection Fitted" heading, spaces to fill in for "Installed" and "Installer", and your company name and phone number and your scheme or registration number as plain text. In the online designer you can change the wording or add a logo, and you see exactly what is printed.
Can I write on a surge protection label with a pen?
Yes, if you order your surge protection label on the right stock. Matt paper takes a ballpoint or a permanent pen. The waterproof polypropylene has a matt laminate, so use a permanent marker on it. Gloss paper is meant for labels that are printed in full with nothing to fill in.
Which surge protection label stock copes with rain or damp?
Waterproof polypropylene. It shrugs off water and handling, so it is right for outdoor units, lofts, meter boxes, vans and plant rooms. The paper labels are for dry, indoor spots only.
Will you add the logo of the scheme I am registered with?
We cannot: those logos are licensed to members only. What we can print on your surge protection label is your registration number as plain text, plus your own business logo.
What is the minimum order for these labels?
Paper from 48 labels and polypropylene from 500. Price per label falls as packs get larger, and you can see the cost each for every pack below the price. Need a size that is not listed? Use the Get a quote page.
What does the surge protection label say, and can I change it?
Unless you tell us otherwise, it says surge protection is fitted and asks the reader to keep an eye on the status indicator, with lines for the install date and the installer. Want something different? Type your own text into the extra wording box and we lay it out.
What is the turnaround on my surge protection label order?
Pick Saver (7 working days), Standard (5 working days) or Express (3 working days); that is the time before it leaves us. The clock starts once your order is placed and the file is confirmed. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Highlands mainland addresses add £10; Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted first.
Asked by buyers
What wording comes already printed on these labels, and what do I write in myself?
You fill in two things by hand: installed plus installer. Everything else is printed for you, starting with the "SURGE PROTECTION FITTED" heading, then your company name, phone number and, as text only, any registration number. Want your logo on too? Add it in the online designer before you finish the layout. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
How much will Surge Protection Labels set me back?
£26.55 is where Surge Protection Labels start, set up as 96 × 45 mm and gloss paper (indoor) on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).
Is delivery ever free?
It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £26.55 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. On its opening option, Surge Protection Labels leaves us after 7 working days on Saver.
If I buy Surge Protection Labels today, when will they leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for Surge Protection Labels are Express 3 working days, Standard 5 and Saver 7, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.
Could I lay out these labels myself on your website?
Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Will paper do for these labels, or do they need something that copes with damp?
Anywhere damp, outdoors or knocked about: pick the waterproof polypropylene and write on it with a permanent marker. Somewhere dry indoors where you will write details on each one: matt paper is the easiest to write on. Nothing to write and staying indoors: gloss paper does the job for less. Swap between the three materials on this page and the total updates as you go. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
What are the measurements of Surge Protection Labels?
It measures 96 × 45 mm and costs from £26.55. If that is not quite right for your space, the PAT Test Pass Labels or the PAT Test Fail Labels may fit better. Spend £100 on goods and mainland delivery is free; below that it is £7.95. Other settings on the page, such as quantity, adjust the total as you go. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm. On this page, Surge Protection Labels start from £26.55.
Biro or marker: what writes best on these labels?
That comes down to the material. Matt paper is happy with an everyday biro or a thin permanent pen. The waterproof polypropylene has a laminate on top where biro ink just sits and smears, so keep a permanent marker for that one. If the spot is fiddly to reach, write the installed and the rest while the label is still on its backing sheet. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm.
I belong to a registration scheme. Will you put its badge on my labels?
We cannot, because those badges belong to the scheme and only its members may use them, under its own rules. What we can print is your membership or registration number in plain text, next to your own business logo if you have one. Where your scheme hands out official badge labels or sets rules for showing membership, go by what it says. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Do these labels come on a roll or on sheets, and how many are in a pack?
Paper packs go from 48 up to 5,040 labels, and the waterproof polypropylene version begins at 500. They arrive kiss cut on backing sheets, so each label lifts off on its own. The glue is permanent. Each pack size has its own per-label figure in the price table, which makes comparing two sizes quick. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm.
What form do Surge Protection Labels take when they arrive?
In short, the supplied line for Surge Protection Labels reads: On sheets, kiss cut, ready to peel. Anything unusual in mind? Send the details through our quote form and someone will reply. The Specifications tab lists every other detail. Your basket keeps each line separate, so different sizes and quantities can sit in one order.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Is there a minimum quantity for these labels?
The smallest order is 48 and the largest listed is 10000; the list starts 48, 280, 480, 500, 520 and 1000 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Surge Protection Labels cost more to send?
The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these labels leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. On its opening option, Surge Protection Labels leaves us after 7 working days on Saver.
Is there a quicker turnaround for these labels?
Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 3 working days to get Surge Protection Labels out, against 7 on Saver, and costs £30.75 on the opening option rather than £26.55. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. Nothing is printed until a file passes that check, and you can send a corrected one. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. With the online designer, what you see on screen is what gets printed. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?
Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. For reference, Surge Protection Labels are sold at 96 × 45 mm.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these labels?
Roughly 1,134 pixels across and 531 down for a 96 × 45 mm design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. For reference, Surge Protection Labels are sold at 96 × 45 mm.
What information can go on Surge Protection Labels?
In short, the printed details line for Surge Protection Labels reads: optional logo, scheme or registration number (as text), phone, company name, write-on lines and label wording. Anything unusual in mind? Send the details through our quote form and someone will reply. The Specifications tab lists every other detail.
Which file formats can I upload?
A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm.
Once I finish designing these labels online, is the file mine to keep?
Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm.
Can you explain the material setting for Surge Protection Labels?
The material option has 3 settings: waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or gloss paper (indoor). It is what your design gets printed onto. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm.
How well does the glue on Surge Protection Labels hold?
Straight from the details for Surge Protection Labels: Permanent. The rest of the spec sits in the Specifications tab further down the page. Want it done another way? Describe it in the question box or on our quote form, and a person will let you know if it can be done.
Could Surge Protection Labels be made in a size that is not listed?
Straight from the details for Surge Protection Labels: Other sizes on request (ask for a quote). The rest of the spec sits in the Specifications tab further down the page. Want it done another way? Describe it in the question box or on our quote form, and a person will let you know if it can be done.
I work with electricians. Are these labels something we could use?
For rewires, testing and inspections, look under Electricians in the shop: Surge Protection Labels are listed there. Prices begin at £26.55; the size is 96 × 45 mm; the material choices are waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or gloss paper (indoor). People buying for that kind of work often add Voltage Warning Labels or Custom Logo Stickers. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
Is it worth buying printed labels rather than writing on plain ones?
Usually, yes. Your firm's name, contact details and registration number come already printed on each one, so months later a tenant, client or inspector can see whose work it was and get in touch. Every label matches, and the lines left for handwriting remind you what to fill in on the day. You can begin with one of the smaller packs to try them out. You will also find these labels in our Electricians section. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
What is the best spot for these labels, and how do I make them stay?
Choose a place that is clean, dry and easy to spot, either on the item itself or right beside it. Give the surface a wipe to shift dust or grease, then smooth the label down from its centre towards the edges. The glue is permanent and not made for moving, so settle on the spot before you peel. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm. Material choices for Surge Protection Labels: Gloss paper (indoor), Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) or Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor).
Where do Surge Protection Labels and PAT Test Fail Labels differ?
Comparing Surge Protection Labels with PAT Test Fail Labels, this is what changes. Sizes: only 96 × 45 mm on this page, and 2 on the other, the smallest 51 × 25 mm. Opening price: £26.55 on this page and £26.31 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Should I get Surge Protection Labels, or would PAT Test Pass Labels suit me better?
Set Surge Protection Labels beside PAT Test Pass Labels and a few things differ. Sizes: only 96 × 45 mm on this page, and 2 on the other, the smallest 51 × 25 mm. Opening price: £26.55 on this page and £26.31 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Can I send these labels back if I no longer need them?
Not for a change of mind. These labels are made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
I am not sure which options to pick for these labels. Can someone advise me?
Of course. Tell us three things: where these labels will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for these labels is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?
You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Who looks after me once I have bought Surge Protection Labels?
You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, Surge Protection Labels are printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers them with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.
Next year we will want the same label again. Is reordering easy?
Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. For online designs, the print-ready PDF from the original paid order is waiting in My Account and your confirmation email. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders and the print files of anything you designed online. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?
Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm. For reference, these labels measure 96 × 45 mm.
Can I design these labels first and show the committee before we pay?
Yes. The online designer is free to use, so you can build the design, look at it on screen and share it round before anyone commits. The preview carries a watermark on screen only; it never appears on the printed item. When everyone is happy, finish the design and order. What you see is what gets printed, so check names, dates and numbers together first. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
